There are different ways to go about it – some of the more common solutions are to either sell more ad space, introduce premium content or look to expand your offer with consultancy services etc. – but will these activities really have the desired effect, if the content quality and offers on your site are not optimized?

Think about it, it makes sense to optimize your own site and offerings before asking someone to pay for using them.
